Open Tech Calendar

The Future of Work Scotland team are delighted to be hosting the one and only Daniel Mezick, as our final event of 2021.

2022 is sure to be the year of "patterns over practices."

Patterns liberate you and your organization from the tyranny of rigid practice frameworks.

Patterns can be expressed through any number of practices.

Healthy, proven patterns point your organization in the right direction *from the very beginning* and produce the quick ROI that is so essential to momentum and success.

In this session, Daniel Mezick will introduce you to the Eight Liberating Patterns of Open Business Agility.

These 8 patterns are now being used worldwide to generate authentic and lasting business agility.

You can see the evidence with these nine (9) executive testimonial videos here:

So-called "business agility" is actually almost impossible without a focus on patterns, because success with business agility is actually *more difficult to achieve* than software agility.

A focus in patterns over practices is what wins this game.
